Chapter 80 Driving Away the Su Family
Su Daqiang refused to accept it, and he didn't believe Huo Ran either. He immediately felt like his hand was broken.
"My hand must be broken, otherwise why would it hurt so much? I rely entirely on my hands to earn a living, and now that my family has lost its source of income, you have to compensate us!"
Su Xing leaned against the tree, pointed to his leg, and said, "That's right, you've caused my son and me to be like this. Is there no law anymore? If you don't compensate us, we'll take you to the authorities!"
"Go ahead, go ahead, do you think we're afraid of you!" Mother Jiang knew that Su Xing had no connections, and even if she reported it to the authorities, he would only settle it privately. Moreover, Su Xing was very timid and would be paralyzed with fear at the sight of officials, let alone actually seeing them.
Su Xing's face turned red with anger, but now they couldn't win either argument or fight, so they could only admit defeat.
Seeing that the Jiang family was difficult to deal with, Su's mother could only vent her anger on her daughter. She grabbed Su Yindi's ear and began to wail, "How could I have given birth to such a useless piece of trash like you? You even side with outsiders, watching others beat your own parents without caring. If I had known you were born, I should have strangled you to death, so you wouldn't be of any use and would only make me angry."
Su Yindi was being beaten by her mother and Su Daqiang. She didn't dare to fight back and could only stand there and take the beating, covering her mouth and crying about her miserable life. Jiang Mi was so angry that she pulled them apart. What kind of people are these Su family? They beat their own daughter like they were animals. Fortunately, her parents love her very much. No wonder Su Yindi usually dislikes her.
"Alright, stop throwing a tantrum in our house. Get out of here, you're bringing bad luck. If you don't leave, your son's other leg will be crippled too!" Jiang's mother kicked them out.
Su's mother was unwilling, but she could only hold her husband's wrist and walk out. This time it came too suddenly. She didn't know that the Jiang family had such a powerful man. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he didn't seem to be an ordinary person. When did the Jiang family get to know such a powerful person? She would have to call Su Yin back and interrogate him later.
"Mother, are we just leaving like this?" Su Xing glared fiercely at the Jiang family's door, wishing he could devour Jiang Mi alive!
While the people around them were still laughing at the family of three, Su Daqiang brandished the axe in his left hand a few times, shouting with a ferocious expression, "Look, what's so interesting? If you keep looking, I'll split your heads in half!"
The villagers were terrified and scattered when they saw his ferocious appearance. Su's mother helped her beloved son Su Xing to his feet and limped home. She said to Su Daqiang, "Husband, if we just leave like this, won't the Jiang family bully us even more in the future? Are you just going to let your wrist and Xing'er's leg go like this?"
Su Daqiang snorted coldly, turned around and stared at the Jiang family's door, a cold glint in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "After that man leaves, we'll find a chance to settle accounts with them!"
Just then, Jiang Chenggang returned home carrying a hoe. He was quite surprised to see his in-laws in Hongyang Village, so he greeted them, "In-laws, are you here for a visit? Why don't you stay for dinner before you leave?"
Su's mother spat and said, "Eating your food? I'm afraid you'll poison us!"
Jiang Cheng was baffled by her scolding. If it weren't for the fact that they were in-laws, he wouldn't want to bother with these people at all.
When he got home, he found everyone in the yard. Su Yindi was covered in dirt and her hair was all messed up. Even if Jiang Cheng was slow to react, he could guess what had happened.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Go inside and wash up. If you hadn't given your brother money, none of this would have happened," Jiang's mother said irritably. "Luckily, my honey is alright. If it had affected my honey, I would have dealt with you."
Su Yindi wiped away her tears and went back to her room feeling wronged. Jiang Cheng said irritably, "So that's why I saw Su Daqiang's family earlier. They came to our house to cause trouble. Did they bully my honey? I'm going to go after them right now!"
Jiang's mother quickly pulled him back: "Alright, alright, we've already chased those scoundrels away, so you don't need to go anymore. We should thank this young master Huo for his help. I didn't expect that young master Huo, who looks so gentle and weak, is actually quite strong."
Jiang Mi said to Huo Ran, feeling embarrassed, "I didn't expect to encounter something like this. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
Seeing this, Huo Ran only felt sorry for Jiang Mi. He said to Jiang Mi, "It's nothing. Every family has its own problems. It's nothing. I was just doing a small favor."
Jiang Mi thought about how he had mysteriously disappeared from the cave last time, and wondered if he might actually be a martial arts master.
"Regarding the locusts, I will ask the village head to issue a notice. As long as the officials say that locusts are edible and effective against locust plagues, the people will have no doubts."
"Don't you doubt the truthfulness of what I said?" Jiang Mi thought Huo Ran was a strange person. It seemed like he believed everything she said. If it were someone else, they would definitely question Jiang Mi, or even think she was crazy.
"No, why would you lie to me? Besides, the sweet potato thing is true, of course I believe you."
Seeing that Huo Ran's gaze towards her daughter had become sticky again, Jiang Mi immediately pulled her over, her face showing disgust: "What is this? Eating locusts? How can you eat this stuff? If it makes someone sick, we can't take the responsibility."
Jiang Mi comforted her mother, "Mother, don't worry. Locusts will only do good, not harm. As long as you don't overdo it, it's fine. We're already taking precautions against the locust plague here, but other villages have already been affected. These harmful creatures will eat up the crops in other villages and then fly over here. So we must eliminate the locusts to protect the crops in our Hongyang Village!"
Jiang's mother thought it made sense, but the thought of eating that thing still made her feel disgusted. But since Honey said it was okay, then it must be okay.
“Okay, Honey, whatever you do, I’ll support you. It’s just eating locusts. When we were poor, we ate all sorts of things. We ordinary people don’t have so many fussy rules.”
Jiang Mi smiled. She knew her mother would support her point of view. With a mother like that, she was truly blessed. Thinking of that Su mother, she couldn't understand how anyone in this world could treat their own flesh and blood like that. It was heartbreaking.
"Then I'll go and get the villagers ready."
